[android-porting] No PinyinIME branch for Lollipop

2015-10-26 Thread Kyle
The default manifest for Lollipop does not contain the PinyinIME (platform/packages/inputmethods/PinyinIME). Additionally, that package stopped branching in AOSP after Kitkat. Has open source maintenance of this app moved off AOSP, or is PinyinIME now only available through the Play Store?

2016-01-19 Thread Kyle
I know Google has moved Android System WebView updates to the Play Store, but it looks like updates are not being pushed to android.googlesource.com. For example, vanilla AOSP Lollipop (5.1.1) looks like it builds version 39 of Chromium, while my Nexus 5 (6.0.1) runs 47.0.2526.100. (There is

[android-porting] Why does vold require an fstab named with ro.hardware?

2014-02-03 Thread Kyle Russell
Why did vold switch from loading the filename vold.fstab to fstab.${ro.hardware}? It seems like there's only one fstab file that ever gets loaded, and it's difficult to determine the ro.hardware property value during a build, which is when you need to know the filename to install the fstab

There is a factory test mode that attempts to do some of this, but you need to dig deep in to the ActivityManager and friends to see what exactly happens and how broken it might be. On Wednesday, April 9, 2014 10:29:42 AM UTC-7, Somdutta Roy wrote: I believe there is also a headless android

[android-porting] dalvik crash during dvmInterpFindInterfaceMethod

2014-06-30 Thread Kyle Russell
I've encountered a crash in dalvik in Android 4.3-r2.2 in dvmInterpFindInterfaceMethod(). If I look at the assembly, I think the crash occurs when deferencing absMethod, which is provided by dvmDexGetResolvedMethod(). The process was android.process.acore, which appears to be the
